Smith, who said they have found being single during the pandemic “difficult”, promised Cohen they will try Tinder instead as the host knows someone who can get them verified on the app. “I’ve always been sad, but for the first time I actually really had mental health issues, like panic attacks, anxiety and depression”, Smith said.
